Indianapolis International Airport (IND) has announced it is set to welcome a third weekly scheduled cargo flight with regular Sunday service to Luxembourg, Europe.
The new international all-cargo flight has been arranged by freight forwarder DB Schenker's Indianapolis office and will be operated by Cargolux Airlines using Boeing 747 cargo aircraft.
In February 2006, DB Schenker, Indianapolis-based Roche Diagnostics, Cargolux, and the Indianapolis Airport Authority (IAA) collaborated to establish the first non-stop all-cargo flight from Europe. That operation quickly expanded with a second Cargolux flight from Luxembourg starting in July 2006. These two cargo flights have operated for the past six years bringing time and temperature-sensitive import and export shipments directly to the region.
"This additional weekly non-stop flight is a result of an 18% increase in regional air export demand," said Chris Matney, Air Service Director for the IAA.
